I saw this link on another post and thought it was worth its own topic. It appears to only be public schools, as I would expect Notre Dame and USC to be in the top 25.

Business Insider List

The list includes a breakdown on income from football, basketball, and women's basketball as well as donations and licensing fees.

25. UCLA $96.9M
24. Nebraska $102.2M
23. Washington $103.5M
22. Louisville $104.3M
21. Oregon $105.7M
20. Iowa $106M
19. Michigan St $108.7M
18. Minnesota $111.2M
17. South Carolina $113.2M
16. Arkansas $114.2M
15. Georgia $116.2M
14. Kentucky $116.5M
13. Florida State $120.8M
12. Wisconsin $123.9M
11. Auburn $124.7M
10. Penn State $125.7M
9. Tennessee $126.6M
8. Oklahoma $134.3M
7. LSU $138.6M
6. Florida $147.1M
5. Alabama $148.9M
4. Michigan $152.5M
3. Ohio State $167.2M
2. Texas $183.5M
1. Texas A&M $192.6M

It looks pretty linear until you get to the top 8. I'm surprised that Clemson did not make the top 25. By conference it is -

Big 12 - 2
ACC - 2
PAC 12 - 3
Big 10 - 8
SEC - 10

Clemson can copy everything Auburn except the money apparently.

Counting a large one time gift to the athletic program for A&M is pretty disingenuous

We're too busy spending on international vacations, 3rd homes, and luxury vehicles to buy t-shirt, hats, and license plate frames. Sorry.

Why?
Is donated money Monopoly money?

Don't waste your time being annoyed by something so meaningless in your life.

Tt9 grasping at straws like he grasps for hard wieners

That ship has sailed. You had a good run with that material though.

Hey, didn't you lose a ban bet?

Okay, Dan Bilzerian. Miami's not on there either. If you don't like sports, you can git the hell out.
